I'm new to this forum, but I've had my fit since around March of last year! Figured it wouldn't hurt to make an account and chat about my favorite supermini :P

I've already installed some upgrades, too! HKS SuperPowerFlow short ram intake and Hi-Power axleback exhaust, and some PerfectStop ceramic brake pads.

 

Nice. The paint looks mint and shiny.

Those front struts are looking a bit crusty. Still original struts? That's impressive.

What year is the car?

 

Thanks! The paint looks a lot better in the photos, it's closer to pink on a lot of panels irl (But I still try to take care of it) 😅
Those struts could very well be factory! It's an '07 with 92,000-ish miles, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were

 

That's not bad at all. I had a Volkswagen Jetta and the factory struts and shocks were shot at 50k.

If it still works don't fix it.

 

That's some great advice! Sorry to hear about those Jetta shocks, though

 

Welcome aboard! Nice to see another member who does their own work.
